In the field of Comparative Law, students are encouraged to think about the nature and value of comparative scholarship both through coursework (particularly the Legal Traditions course, which is required for all students in Comparative Law) and through their master’s research project. As such, students are encouraged and given opportunities to explore how juridical analyses are enriched through openness to learning from diversity in research methods, theoretical frameworks, legal traditions and doctrines, languages, and disciplinary perspectives. The LL.M. non-thesis program requires two terms of graduate-level coursework and another term to produce a 15,000-word research project.

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Candidates for admission to the LL.M. program must hold the degree of Bachelor of Laws, or its equivalent (e.g. J.D.), from an accredited university (as determined by the Quebec government). The candidate must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0/4.0, or its equivalent (Upper Second Class). This standing does not guarantee admission, however; the Graduate Admissions Committee weighs the entire file. There are a limited number of places in the programs.
At the time of application, candidates should indicate whether they wish to be registered in the Faculty generally, or in the Institute of Comparative Law or the Institute of Air and Space Law. The different program requirements are set out elsewhere in these web pages.
Candidates must also indicate whether they wish to apply to the Thesis option or the Non-Thesis option. Candidates who apply to the thesis option may be offered a place in the non-thesis option.
In the case of applications to thesis programs, the Graduate Admissions Committee must consider the availability of a supervisor. If a supervisor is not available in the applicant's preferred field of study, the applicant may be refused admission or else offered admission pending a change of field of study. |
